Hey hey baby I just can't quit There's a freight train coming I can see my name on it In the middle of the night in the midnight rain Banging my heels on the wheels of a runaway train Banging on midnight bang on the moon Spend my money making love to you Tell me darling now what'll you give Tell me do you love me like I love the way you live Down the alligator river on a lonesome train I'm rockin' my soul in the heart of the hurricane Banging on midnight bang on the moon Spend my money making love to you Banging on a bottle with a medicine spoon All my money making love to you Put another bullet in my snake skin shoes Hammer my heart till my heart stops too I'm calling out your name to the heavens You can sell my old clothes When I come rolling through I've been driving all night long for a lifetime And I never meant to get this far away from you Last chance honey I'm ready to fade I'm ready to roll I'm ready for the big parade Put another bullet in my snake skin shoes Or hammer my heart till my heart stops too I'm calling out your name to the heavens You can sell my old clothes When I come rolling through I've been driving all night long for a lifetime And I never meant to get this far away from you Hey hey baby I just can't quit There's a freight train coming I can see my name on it Down the alligator river on a lonesome train I'm rockin' my soul in the heart of a hurricane Banging on midnight bangin' on the moon Spend my money making love to you Banging on a bottle with a medicine spoon All my money making love to you I got a two headed dollar and I'm ready to deal I'm ready to beg don't make me steal One more midnight one more moon Spend my money making love to you Put another bullet in my snake skin shoes Or hammer my heart till my heart stops too And I'm calling out your name out to the heavens You can sell my old clothes When I come rolling through I've been driving all night long for a life time And I never meant to get this far away from you
